Black and White Wednesday #1

As soon as I read Susan's post announcing the start of Black and White Wednesday I knew that I would have to join in. Black and White photography is my first love and shooting with black and white film fills me with joy that no digital camera has ever come close to matching.

The idea of the event is that you post (on a wednesday) a b&w food related image - it can be digital or film and for this photo I've gone old school - agfa apx 400 with a Nikon F2

taken in the heat of service - there's a flurry of action, from the fish station at the front, to the focused attention at the pass as plates are ready to be served.

Beautiful. B&W photos have very special meaning for me because my father - who died when I was a child - was a very accomplished amateur photographer and he only shot in black and white (and did the developing himself).
